Sidenav animation with smooth effect

Question

I need to make a side navigation menu.

What I have so far:

function toggle() {
  document
    .querySelector('.nuxt-link-exact-active')
    .classList.remove('nuxt-link-exact-active')

  event.target.classList.add('nuxt-link-exact-active')
}

.default-layout {
  background: purple;
  min-height: 100%;
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 230px 1fr;
}
main {
  background: #000;
  border-radius: 0.9rem;
  margin: 1.5rem 2rem 1.5rem 0;
  padding: 2rem;
}
nav ul {
  display: grid;
  grid-gap: 1rem;
  justify-content: center;
  padding: 5rem 0;
  grid-template-columns: 100%;
  padding-left: 2rem;
  list-style: none;
}
nav ul li .nav-item {
  cursor: pointer;
  color: #fff;
  display: block;
  padding: 1.5rem;
}
nav ul li .nav-item.nuxt-link-exact-active {
  background: #000;
  border-top-left-radius: 10px;
  border-bottom-left-radius: 10px;
}

<div class="default-layout">
  <nav>
    <ul>
      <li>
        <a class="nav-item nuxt-link-exact-active" onclick="toggle()"
          >Menu 1</a
        >
      </li>
      <li>
        <a class="nav-item" onclick="toggle()">Menu 2</a>
      </li>
      <li>
        <a class="nav-item" onclick="toggle()">Menu 3</a>
      </li>
      <li>
        <a class="nav-item" onclick="toggle()">Menu 4</a>
      </li>
    </ul>
  </nav>
  <main>
    <p>content</p>
  </main>
</div>

The look I need, but I haven't been successful:

In addition to this look, I need effects when navigating between items, but I have no idea how to do them, here are some examples of smooth effects I would like:

Try this

function toggle() {
  document
    .querySelector('.nuxt-link-exact-active')
    .classList.remove('nuxt-link-exact-active')

  event.target.classList.add('nuxt-link-exact-active')
}

.default-layout {
  background: purple;
  min-height: 100%;
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: 230px 1fr;
}
main {
  background: #000;
  border-radius: 0.9rem;
  margin: 1.5rem 2rem 1.5rem 0;

}
nav ul li .nav-item.nuxt-link-exact-active:before,nav ul li .nav-item.nuxt-link-exact-active:after{
   box-shadow: 15px 15px 0 0 #000;

          >Menu 1</a
        >
      </li>
      <li>
        <a class="nav-item" onclick="toggle()">Menu 2</a>
      </li>
      <li>

    </ul>
  </nav>

    <p>content</p>
  </main>
</div>

You can change width size according to your case.

can you help me make an animation like that? https://dribbble.com/shots/5357786-Desktop-Messenger-Spaces-Animation — Yung Silva, Aug 15 '20 at 16:36
